Chapter 2

Fortunately, Krystian was the last one in the queue, so no one paid much attention to him. Only a fat, older salesman who had been standing in front of him in the queue moments earlier looked back at him for a second, and after a while he went back to waiting for his turn.

Walking towards a young man, lying on a gray towel next to a green towel of the same size. Krystian heard a muffled moan coming from the mouth of a brown-haired girl reading a book. Which, moments earlier, had served as a test subject for his newly acquired powers.

(Krysitan)-,,Haha....I really need to smoke. Because, just a moment. And I will implement the sickest scenarios from hentai manga."

Then Krystian stopped time again to rob the man dressed in short orange shorts who was currently lying on a gray towel in a dozen or so seconds. In this way, he obtained the desired cigarettes and several banknotes that he found next to the said cigarettes.

And now, sitting right under the old oak tree, leaning against the bark of the tree, Krystian was smoking the cigarette he had lit a second earlier and started to think about what he should do now.

His initial thoughts revolved around groping nearby women or even doing much filthier things to them. For now, these were just thoughts that were stopped by the growling of my stomach and the feeling of one basic human need, hunger.

This feeling took Krystian out of his perverted plans/fantasies. To more basic thoughts, such as the observation that the current time of day is not morning but late afternoon. And he currently didn't have any basic things, like a full suit of clothes.

When he realized this, he decided to take a walk on the beach, stopping time repeatedly whenever he passed a man lying on the beach. Apart from collecting cash, not all of it, of course, but some of it. He didn't want Robin or another superhero to start investigating a serial theft on the beach. Although the chances of such an event should be slim.

However, he decided to exercise a minimum of caution. Of course, his perverted nature had been hidden for years, even though it was controlled by the more rational part of his personality. She made her presence known by robbing really attractive women sunbathing on the beach. He stole 100 dollars from one of them and groped her ass, and 200 from the other and massaged her breasts. The feeling of being unpunished and having such nonsensical and almost limitless power can turn a person into a monster. He, being aware of this, still shows a really strong will.

After robbing the last person on the beach and molesting their breasts a little too hard. Krystian stuffing the cash that no longer fit in his wallet. He started to leave the beach and head towards the city.

Now his time limit for using the time stop had increased to 35 seconds, which wasn't a short amount of time. However, it is too small to rob, for example, a clothing store.

For a normal person, theft, molestation, which Krystian committed many times earlier. They are considered criminals and many people would be disgusted by the very thought of doing them. However, Krystian, although he did not explain his drunkenness as a reason, was not at all a normal person.

The numerous abuses he was exposed to from an early age, such as bullying in primary school and junior high school, and many betrayals from both friends and family. Adding to this an uninteresting family situation, strictly pathological. Returns of a drunk father, numerous fights, and subsequent ignorance from the family and other people. In particular, finding escape in anime, films, and comics resulted in the creation of a man with a loose approach to morality and the concept of good and evil. His psychological profile leans more towards a villain than a hero, but his excessive intelligence often curbs his immoral tendencies.

So for now, Krystian decided to go to the city and use the stolen cash to buy the necessary clothes and then look for a place to spend the night.

Krystian was now walking along the streets, looking for the desired store, and still tried to activate his power as often as possible. One problem here is local monitoring. So the best idea for him turned out to be to look around and, after locating the camera, stand in its blind spot and activate the power there to rob the closest person and return the power activation equipment to the place.

The amount of cash he managed to obtain in this way was ridiculously large. He didn't count them exactly, but if he had to guess, he currently had several thousand dollars in cash stuffed in his pocket. So after realizing that he was running out of space in his pockets, Krystian stopped using his powers and continued walking through the city streets like a normal person.

The shop he decided to visit was a peculiar shop for motorcyclists. His assortment was dominated by strictly metal fashion, from leather shoes to really expensive leather jackets made of real leather. Krystian, having quite a large amount of cash at his disposal, bought one of the more expensive leather jackets with spikes on the shoulders. It was reminiscent of the jacket worn by Johnny Blaze in the movie Ghost Rider, when he modified it after escaping from custody.

He also bought dark jeans, leather shoes and a Samurai-themed T-shirt with a logo resembling those from the Cyberpank game.

He spent most of the money on this, but the reflection he saw in the mirror made him feel narcissistic and made him even more enthusiastic about the situation.

However, after paying and leaving the store, Krystian was about to head towards the nearest restaurant. A few centimeters in front of his face, a police car passed with inhuman force. And when he looked at the direction from which the said object came. He noticed something that brought a smile to his lips. After taking a closer look at the situation, he returns to the store he left a moment ago. However, this time, he had his power activated when entering the store.
